You’re all crazy!
Mark me rude
As you wish. By the way, once a few people mark your comment rude, it gets hidden. That’s not an easy way to reach 100.
And besides, crazy is my middle name.
If enough people mark a comment as rude, and the comment disappears, what happens if the rude comment was comment #1? Does the entire post disappear?
Wauw interesting sb56637!
Hope it’ll help.
Will there be any indication that a post was removed, something like?
Or
The atmosphere was so toxic lately i though about giving up on BLF (wich comprises of 99.999% fantastic people), i’m probably not alone, this is a very welcomed and smart solution in the spirit of BLF, thanks SB.
Now if we just had a way to mark someone’s behavior as rude when they pull a kreisler. 
(he had an ongoing habit of posting rude things and then deleting it an hour later)
Doesn’t seem like it’s an issue though. I haven’t noticed that happening since he left.
I did a BLF search, and I had the opportunity to mark the results as rude, lewd, or conflictive! 
I actually came to the thread to mention the exact same thing. ^
Why is the quote button missing from the OP? Or has it never been there? As far as rudeness giving you severe headaches sb, l can you send pills not available over the counter that will fix this as well as other problems with no problem. Cheap to. 
As a professional that works in mental health I see general increase in emotional immaturity and poor communication skills among certain groups of people. I have my theories about the cause but no hard data. It seems that the increase in communication methods (i.e social media) has led the a poor ability to communicate with people in real time and desensitization regarding their actions towards others.
Bravo.
Overall my experience with this forum has been positive
Also, please remember that BLF is not Reddit or Slashshot, and I don’t want it to turn into that either. So please do not use the Rude! button just because you don’t like or don’t agree with the post or the poster. It is intended exclusively for use on rude, lewd, or conflictive posts.
Very interesting, marsalla. Doesn’t surprise me either, given the way that society in general is turning. So I’m glad to see a lot of people here that are trying to buck the trend.
Regarding the button on the search results, thanks for letting me know, it should be fixed now.
About the quote button, yes, unfortunately it went MIA during the site upgrade, and I can’t figure out how to get it back. Sorry!
As for the possibility of a rude original post getting marked many times as rude and being removed, yes, it could happen, although I set higher limits for an original post. But this goes back to what I mentioned earlier about not responding in any way, shape, or form to inappropriate or rude content. Of course, everybody’s opinion of what’s rude and what’s not is different. But if enough people mark an OP as rude and it gets removed, it’s a pretty sure bet that the OP was out of line, and therefore any follow-up comments would also be promoting something that is bad for BLF.
I also tweaked the method of Rudeness points expiration:
Originally it would expire a rudeness point 24 hours after it was given. This would make it so that if the user created a rude post and then disappeared for more than 24 hours, (s)he could come back and potentially find a clean 0 rating for rudeness with no indication of how offensive it was.
So I changed it so that now, the overall rudeness score will tick down by 1 every day. This change has been reflected in the OP.
This ‘rude’ button is a nice antidote to rude posts by rude ‘members’ !
Kudos to our admin for being so patient and reasonable….let’s all hope they all get the message and not abuse the patience of SB.
I just tried marking one of my old posts as rude, but got a “website has encountered an unexpected error message”, maybe it was just from the load of people trying it, but fyi.
However, the reason I was trying it was to see if there was a way to easily see which posts were marked rude and which ones I’ve marked rude so corrections can be made in case it was updated by the poster?

It is also important to note that all of these labels like “rude” and “troll” are used to silence those who choose to dissent from majority opinion. So if you think differently, you must be rude or a troll.
Oops, sorry, looks like I broke it. 
Should be working now.
This would be a lot more difficult to implement on a technical level, but it’s definitely not a bad idea.
Now, ah, could the button appear on the ads as well?
I’d like to tag the whatchacallit MilitaryMonster700 ads….
I think I’m just joking, but these days with smart coders I can never tell in advance whether I’m joking or wishing in the presence of a wizard, and I’m often surprised by what can be made to work.
This is an important point. One of the major instigating factors of fights here is when people start throwing around insults and labels like that. So the original post in this thread tries to be very clear; if you feel somebody is out of line, be it “normal” rudeness or “trollish” rudeness, please refrain from calling them out, and don’t have any interaction whatsoever with the person. Instead, hit the Rude! button and contact me if it’s an extreme case or becoming a pattern and I don’t notice it.
But please also keep in mind this recent addition I made to the original post:
